A) is in danger to undergo
B) are in danger of undergoing
C) is in danger of undergoing
D) are in danger to undergo
E) are in danger for undergoing
Here, is (singular) does not agree with thousands (plural).
Eliminate A and C.
Correct idiom: in danger OF doing Y.
In D, in danger to undergo is unidiomatic.
Eliminate D.
In E, in danger for undergoing is unidiomatic.
Eliminate E.
The correct answer is B.
